Abstract: A golf green divot repair tool is provided that includes a handle and a tine structure. The tine structure includes a trough wall forming a trough, the trough wall mounted to the handle at a first end of the trough wall, and a tapered wall mounted to extend to a tip from a second end of the trough wall. The second end and the first end are on opposite ends of the trough. A trough cross section is defined in a plane perpendicular to a longitudinal axis that extends from the first end to the second end. The trough cross section is further defined by an open side. The trough wall of the trough cross section is configured to trap soil within the trough wall when inserted in a divot.
